Do you have the right gear and training to respond when you must?

Lets say that you do.

What if that response does not work?

Failure drill training

The most basic of self-defense training is the center-mass shot.

But what if those hits prove ineffective?

Last-Ditch Response?

The Failure To Stop Drill is pretty much what it sounds like.

Failure drill steps

Why would you’re gonna wanna do this?

So, we encourage you to start with some small steps.

Its up to you whether you practice with a duty holster or your everyday concealed carry set-up.

I would say its best to practice however you carry mostly.

The biggest step, literally, would be adding in movement.

So, as you get comfortable, its best to add in movement like a backpedal.

Headshot training

The final step if you want to practice it fully is incorporating a voice command.

Adding this final step to all the motions will challenge you, physically and mentally.

Admittedly, this is a lot of stuff to think about in one drill.
